Crunchyroll and Ayra Starr have teamed up on a limited-edition vinyl of her latest album, Starrgirl, with manga-style cover art that reflects the Nigerian artist’s love for anime. Pre-orders are open now through the Crunchyroll Store.
The collaboration brings music, art and anime together to celebrate the release of Starrgirl, per Crunchyroll. The vinyl features custom artwork, and key visuals designed in a distinct manga style tell the narrative of the album.
Ayra Starr said of the Starrgirl character created for the album cover, “The Starrgirl character we created for the album cover has such a bold yet simple statement. I think it blends modern fashion with traditional dress in a way that says I am here today because of all the women that came before me.”
Fans will get original animated content and a custom visualizer created to accompany Ayra Starr’s music. Crunchyroll News also has an interview with the artist, and there is additional content across Crunchyroll’s and Ayra Starr’s social platforms.
Pre-orders for the Starrgirl vinyl opened Nov. 10 on the Crunchyroll Store for $40. The vinyl is available to Mega Fan and Ultimate Fan tiers for a limited time.
